Personal life
Chevron was openly gay and penned the anti-homophobia song "Under Clery's Clock," which first appeared in 1987 and was released as a single in 1989 after the Radiators reformed for one gig, an AIDS benefit in Dublin.
Career
Chevron grew up in Santry, a Dublin suburb. He was lead singer and co-founder of The Radiators from Space in the late 1970s, but there was no widespread interest or financial success in the area. Following a brief break up of the band in 1981, Shane MacGowan spent time in London, chatting and befriending Shane MacGowan after they spent time together in a record store. Following the release of the Pogues' 1984 debut album Red Roses For Me, he was invited to join the band on a short-term basis as a back-up for banjo player Jem Finer's paternity separation. Following MacGowan's decision to concentrate on singing, he became a full member of the band in time for the band's second album, Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash.
Among other things, Chevron wrote "Thousands Are Sailing" and "Lorelei." Following heroin and alcohol withdrawals, he left The Pogues in 1994. He revived The Radiators (Plan 9) with former Pogues bassist Cait O'Riordan in 2003. In 2006, they released Trouble Pilgrim, the band's fifth album.
He became The Pogues' unofficial spokesperson and frequented online forums, answering questions from fans. He oversaw the remastering and re-release of The Pogues' complete back catalogue on CD in 2004. He toured with The Pogues, who returned to the United States in 2001 after a reunion tour.
